Professor Department of Aerospace Engineering IIT Kanpur 13th July‚ 2012 ABSTRACT Numerical Studies of Microcombustion in a Micro-channel There are a lot of methods that converts chemical energy to thermal energy like fuel cells. But combustion is the most important one to obtain thermal energy from various fuels including hydrogen‚ natural gas‚ fuel oils because of its more energy output. Microcombustion is a potential energy source for small devices like unmanned vehicles and micro

Heat of Combustion Questions 1. When bonds are broken‚ energy is required. When bond are formed‚ energy is released. All combustion reactions are exothermic. Suggest a reason for this in terms of the bonds broken and bonds formed. The energy required to break the bonds is greater than the energy required to form. 2. Explain why the heat of combustion of alkanols increases as the length of the carbon chain increases. The heat of combustion of alkanol increases as the length of carbon chain

Experiment #2: Stereochemistry of Alkenes and Molecular Modeling By: Nouhad Mokdad Section: 53 TA’s: Sheida and Ryan Mills Lab Partner: David Wilson Date of Experiment: October 7th‚ 2008 Purpose: The purpose is to study the difference between the stereochemistry of the two isomers‚ maleic and fumaric acid. The first part of the experiment called for the conversion of maleic acid into fumaric acid with the addition of a proton using the acid-catalyzed isomerisation‚ vacuum filtration‚

Heats of Combustion of Alkanols Aim: To perform a first-hand investigation to determine the heats of combustion of selected alkanols. Hypothesis: It was predicted that methanol would have the highest molar heat of combustion‚ decreasing as the chains become longer. Equipment: • Three spirit burners containing methanol‚ ethanol and propan-1-ol respectively • Electronic scales • Water • 100ml measuring cylinder • Retort stand and boss-head clamp • Copper beaker • Thermometer Method:

Experiment: Comparing reactivities of alkanes and alkenes Aim: To compare the reactivities of an alkane and an alkene with bromine water and a solution of potassium permanganate (KMnO4). Equipment: • 4 test tubes • Test-tube rack • 4 pipettes Safety: safety glasses must be worn to prevent injury to the eyes. Ensure room is well ventilated whilst using the hydro carbons. Method: 1. Place 1 ml of sample A (cyclohexane) into a test tube containing 4 mls of the bromine water solution. Record

| | Alkanes: Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons (this means that there are NO double bonds in the molecule). They contain Hydrogen and Carbon atoms only. There are an immense number of possibilities. The simplest being methane with just ONE atom of Carbon.You should be able to see ONE atom of Carbon and FOUR atoms of Hydrogen. In ethane there are TWO atoms of Carbon and SIX atoms of Hydrogen. In propane there are THREE atoms of Carbon and EIGHT atoms of Hydrogen. In butane there are FOUR atoms

Addition of carbon Combustion is the rapid burning of fossil fuels. Stored carbon in coal‚ oil and natural gas returns to the atmosphere when these fossil fuels are burnt and during natural combustion occurrences such as volcanic eruptions. Fossil Fuels such as coal are constructed when a living organism dies and decomposers‚ ie Fungi and microbes are unable to decompose it. After the organic material is untouched for millions of years‚ it eventually turns into fossil fuels. Petroleum‚ coal and

Experiment # 1 Date: 18/12/13 Title: Chemical Properties of Alkanes. Aim: To test the reactivity of alkanes using cyclohexane as an example. Apparatus/Materials: Cyclohexane‚ liquid alkane‚ aqueous bromine‚ test tubes‚ light source‚ watch glass‚ splint‚ 0.1 MKMnO4‚ concentrated H2SO4‚ dilute H2SO4. Method: Combustion: 1. A watch glass was placed on a benched protection sheet in a fume cupboard and the extractor in the fume on. 2. 4 drops of cyclohexane was placed on the watch glass using

Straight Chain Alkanes The general formula for an alkane is CnH2n+2 wheren is the number of carbon atoms in the molecule. There are two ways of writing a condensed structural formula. For example‚ butane may be written as CH3CH2CH2CH3 or CH3(CH2)2CH3. Rules for Naming Alkanes * The parent name of the molecule is determined by the number of carbons in the longest chain. * In the case where two chains have the same number of carbons‚ the parent is the chain with the most substituents.
